Kyle Cooke and Ava Dash were reportedly spotted making out in the VIP section of the Palm Tree Music Festival over the weekend in the Hamptons.
Although the 43-year-old Summer House star denied they were dating after being linked to the 26-year-old Next Gen NYC cast member back in March, a spy at the event claimed the pair looked like quite the couple as they alleged that Kyle and Ava were in the beginning stages of a “new” romance.
“They were hanging out at a table in the VIP section for sponsor Celsius,” an eyewitness told Page Six on June 29. “It seemed like something romantic was going on from the way they looked at each other. There was definitely a vibe that they were into each other.”
“They were kissing openly,” the source added. “It’s very new, [but] they are talking and hanging out.”
Since announcing his January separation from Amanda Batula, 34, who has since moved on with their friend and co-star, West Wilson, 31, Kyle has kissed a number of fans and been linked to Southern Charm star Salley Carson, 31. And, despite the latest claims about him and Ava, the daughter of music producer Damon Dash, 55, and designer Rachel Roy, 52, another insider insisted they were not an item.
That said, Kyle did share a photo of himself with Ava on Instagram during the weekend festival.
“We have officially kicked off Summer 2026 in the Hamptons,” he wrote in the caption of his pic.
After being linked to Ava earlier this year after being seen holding hands during a dinner date, Kyle appeared on Watch What Happens Live, where he denied the rumors.
“I am not [dating Ava],” he told Andy Cohen, 58. “We were at a family dinner doing a family blessing, holding hands, so I was holding her [hand].”
